The rains are coming, the wind is picking up, and the beginning of Autumn is creeping inexorably closer. Some of us are excited for it, but for those of you looking to squeeze every last drop out of the summertime, hit up a few of these events.

What: If you even remember the name Econoline Crush, then this is the show for you. The mid-90s alt-rock group comes to the Imperial tonight to totally blow your mind back to the days of the original Gameboy and Dippity Doo hair gel.

What: We’re just over half-way through the Odlum Brown Vancouver Open. It’s the perfect event for tennis fans looking to watch some of the best players in the world face off. It’s tennis the way it was meant to be played: with other tennis players.

What: In partnership with the Langley Hospice Society and West Fine Art Society, this show creates opportunities to interact with the artists onsite throughout the weekend. The show is open to the public and proceeds go to benefit benefit the Langley Hospice Society. Check out some, and help people in the process. You can’t lose.
